In the process of looking for sturdy EVA foam-type material to use for the shoulder pieces right now. After a lot of searching, I managed to find a hard plastic chest piece that's the perfect shape (hint: it's a piece of sports equipment) and I'm in the process of drilling the speaker holes and priming it for paint. I'm still in the design process for the waist pieces, but I do have the heart wired to glow with a simple on-off switch (I just need more electrical tape to keep it from shorting itself when the wires touch). Once my next paycheck comes in I'll be visiting the lycra store for silver fabric for his arms.

Unless the corset is entirely covered it's probably going to look a bit silly.

Just finished putting this together. I tore apart one of those goofy headbands and put the wiring back together to make it. I still haven't decided if I want the heart exposed or behind a plexiglass 'case'. I might see how the light diffuses and make my decision from there.

I'm really excited about integrating electronics into this cosplay. I've also got plans to put a small speaker into the chest piece that I can hook up to my phone and play music from (quietly and un-obnoxiously)
